Going Home!

My echo results just came in and everything is normal! Yay! My heart rate is still in the mid 40's, so the Cardiologist asked me to briskly walk around the floor a few times to see what my heart rate does. After a couple of laps, I stopped at the nurse's station and my heart rate was 100. They were really happy with that, and the doctor said that if my heart rate has the ability to raise that quickly that there are no problems. All these heart rate issues are most likely a result of me laying in bed for the past 6 weeks. Now, I am just waiting for my OB to come up and see me one last time, then I will be discharged. Hopefully for good!

    Praise! Been following for a couple weeks. My husband (who isn't the least bit computer savvy/blog savvy) even asked how you were! It's been a joy to pray for you. So glad you're feeling better and going home!

    Oh, enjoy your bed and the smell of your home! Love on those puppies and Josh. Feel free to prance around your house, going through the fridge, doing laundry ( oh the simple things) sinking into your comfy deep couch.....ahhh. Sounds like a night at the spa or something!

    Glad you are going home. I am sure you are SO ready.

    I live in the Tampa area and quite familiar with the doctors and hospital you have been staying at. They are good people and they took great care of you but there is NO place like home.
